June Marlowe (born Gisela Valaria Goetten, November 6, 1903 – March 10, 1984) was an American film actress[1] who began her career during the silent film era. She was best known for her performance of "Miss Crabtree" in the Our Gangshorts.

In 1925, she became one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars.[7] Her career did well until the introduction of talking pictures. Marlowe did not make an easy transition, and by 1930 she was starting to drift away from acting.

By chance, she happened to meet director Robert F. McGowan one day in a Los Angeles, California, department store. McGowan was searching for an actress to portray the schoolteacher in the Our Gang series of children's comedies. After producer Hal Roach suggested that brunette Marlowe don a blonde wig to match the hair of the lead kid in the series, Jackie Cooper, she was given the part of Miss Crabtree.

In an October 1931 notice, Washington's Evening Star newspaper announced that the Superior Court in Los Angeles "returned a verdict of $100 damages to Henry M. Oviatt against June Marlowe, film actress, and her brother, Armour Marlowe, as the outgrowth of a motor car collision," adding that their automobile had "collided with one containing Oviatt and Mrs. Nellie McLaren, who sued for $5,000 each, alleging injuries", and that "Mrs. McLaren was denied damages."[9]

On July 2, 1933, Marlowe married Hollywood businessman Rodney Sprigg and retired from motion pictures to become a housewife.[10][11][7] The couple remained married until Sprigg's death in 1982.[10] In her later years, she suffered from Parkinson's disease, dying from complications on March 10, 1984.[2]
